The painting is finished but the walls are bare… I am so excited to begin the next phase of turning our spare bedroom into my new studio space. I can’t believe I’m so close to having a dedicated shooting area that will be filled with my images and studio examples! And lets not forget the advantage of having a closet full of blankets, baskets and wraps right within eye sight!! Seriously, I can not wait to open the doors to Kimberly Marie Photography for the first time since I began the journey of moving my living room set-up into a room all on it’s own. Let the fun begin!

My final image share from the workshop I attended in San Diego. I took so many photos and loved them all, I decided to share them in separate posts. Enjoy!

Wow! It’s been such a busy week… I have done quite a bit to prepare our spare bedroom for transformation into my new studio. I’ve concentrated so much on that that I’ve been neglecting showing off more photos from the Baby As Art workshop. There is still one more sweet little model that I have yet to edit. Enjoy this one cute shot I captured of her for now, until I finish editing the remaining files!

And before I forget- When I start painting and arranging the new studio space I will be sharing photos of the process so be watching for that! Once the room is ready for clients I will be having a special for the first few newborns that I photograph in there! So much fun this will be- I am so excited!!

I couldn’t wait to edit more newborn images and share them… Newborns are my absolute favorite subject to photograph!

These are from day one of the workshop, newborn model number 2. He was such a sweetie pie and we captured some adorable shots of him!

The following images are from the BAA workshop that I had the wonderful opportunity attending. This was the first model of day one. She was the sweetest little model who slept so well for us. These are some of my favorite shots I captured of her.

I can not begin to describe the experience I had while attending a Baby As Art workshop. I am still in overload with thoughts and ideas from those 2 days. So many things will be changing for me as a studio that I can not wait to begin working on. Won’t get into too many details about that yet but I have to share at least one shot for now so  I quickly pulled one of the first shots we took and gave it my usual edit and thought- ‘Is there anything sweeter than this!’

I can’t wait to edit more of the gorgeous images that we captured during those two days, and I will do so soon, so be sure to check back often!

Had a fun session with this family! This is part one of their session preview… we had to plan for a reschedule since we had an uncooperative subject, (wink wink) so I will be sharing more of this family when we confirm a session date.

Until then, have a look at these precious photos we did get, I think they turned out adorable!

Isn’t he the cutest little 6 month old?

LOVE his expression!

And I adore the smile of their beautiful 2 year old daughter

I was so excited for this newborn session. I not only had the pleasure of photographing his momma’s maternity portraits but I was also asked to photograph his birth. Every time I am able to photograph new life I am filled with so my joy in my heart. I can not begin to describe how much I enjoy my work and doing what I do but I sure hope it shows in the images that I create. I know his mom and the entire family are anxiously awaiting the session sneak peek so :

introducing sweet baby “S”

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful 8 day old baby girl over the weekend. She is so tiny and precious and completely adored by her parents.

“Thank You” to Miss A’s parents for letting me capture these images!

Love It! -

Day 8 | Meet Baby “A”

I had the wonderful pleasure of photographing Baby “A” yesterday. He is 8 days here and was such a delight during our session. Once he fell asleep, we were able to move him and position him into some adorable poses! He definitely spoiled me and I could have continued to photograph him for the rest of the day, his mom practically had to kick me out…. I was enjoying this session all too much!

Here are a few that I’ve edited so far. Isn’t he adorable??

Thank you T and J, for a wonderful session with Baby “A”

Can’t get over how beautiful this momma-to-be is. She is due in a few weeks and looks amazing.

Thanks for letting me capture these images for you of this special time, enjoy your session preview. I can’t wait to meet your little one!

Newborns are my most favorite subjects to photograph. What could be more precious?!

Arizona Newborn Photographer

While setting up for a newborn session my two year old comes in and walks to me and says “My turn!” He then gets into this position for me to take the shot. I was only able to get two quick images but I really do love them both. I’m always happy when he wants to be photographed. Here is one of the two I managed to get out of him before he felt like our little session was over. Hey, I’ll take what I can get. Especially when they are this adorable….

What is a casting call? A casting call is offered when I want to add a certain type of session to my portfolio or if I have new props and creative ideas that I would like to try out. They are intended to get a certain shot or image that I have in mind and the time spent during the session is mainly on capturing these images for my portfolio.

What is expected of the casting call clients? Must be willing to sign a model release as these images will be used in my online portfolio as well as other printed marketing materials. Keep in mind that this session will be focusing on getting some of the shots that I have in mind and I will spend most of the session trying to capture these images for my portfolio. If there is enough time to capture other things, I will be sure to get some of your favorite poses in as well.

What do the casting call clients receive? A complimentary newborn session in my home studio. (can last up to 3-4 hours, to allow time for diaper changes and feedings.) One free 11×14 print of your favorite image.

If you are are expecting or know someone who is and may be interested in this great offer please feel free to email me to reserve your spot! Sessions are limited so be sure to book as soon as possible and feel free to pass this information on to anyone you know who is expecting.

*newborn must be 10 days old or less at the time of session
